Warnings

The following are general related to the safe setup, grounding, use, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. Addi- tional, more specific warnings may be found throughout the text of this manual, where applicable.

WARNING

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

•Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).

•When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors.

•Do not clean with materials having flash points lower than 70°F (21°C). Use water-based materials or mineral spirits type material only. For complete information about your fluid, request the MSDS from the fluid distributor or retailer.

•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.

•Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

•Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions.

•If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.

•Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.

•Use only grounded electrical outlets.

•Use only 3-wire extension cords.

•Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.

•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.

•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
